Just returned to work after a two week vacation. I spent time in Grand Haven, Ludington, and East Tawas Michigan enjoying the Great Lakes--Michigan's fresh water Mecca. I was on my own the first week and traveled to Grand Haven and Ludington with my Mustang and my bike. I rode my bike 20 or more miles each day along the lakeshore, worked out at a local fitness center, and played golf, walking without a cart. My prosthetic knee survived very well without a single problem. In Ludington, I discovered the Health and Racquet club owned by Bob James. The club is a bit dated, but has all the equipment you need for a good workout--out in the woods too on the outskirts of downtown Ludington.
For the second week, Margaret and my sons Chad and Eric joined me at the family cabin on Tawas Lake in East Tawas. We had a great time biking, golfing, fishing, and visiting the beach. Again, my knee survived everything very well. The picture below shows a view of the sunset from the back of the cabin that the family fondly refers to as the "Red Cabin.".
